Historic Hawaii Foundation will be one of the sponsors of
the second annual Honolulu 5K for Kids.
We were asked to provide information about some of the historic
buildings and sites that are along the route.
We decided this was a great opportunity to educate children and their
families, so we volunteered to provide the race map and include in it
information about all of the historic buildings and sites along the route. The race takes place on Sunday, April 29,
2012. Proceeds from the event will be
distributed to the schools based on each individual school’s participation and
will be used to help enhance or improve the physical fitness, play and athletic
programs within the schools.

The 5K route takes place in downtown Honolulu, passing by
multiple historic buildings and landmarks including ‘Iolani Palace, Mission
Houses, St. Andrews Cathedral and the Hawaii State Art Museum. In addition to providing a color keepsake
map, we are also distributing complementary first-time membership offers to all
race participants (estimated around 2,000). The race map includes photos and
descriptions for twenty-five historic sites.

The race starts at 6:30 a.m. in front of the State Capitol
and the finish line is at the Honolulu Hale Building. Historic Hawaii
Foundation will have a table at the event located by the finish line. The
average race time is one hour and the awards ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m. The
online registration fee is $20.00 before April 25, mail entries are $25, and
late registration is $35. For more information or if you would like to participate
please visit the race website at http://honolulu5k.org/. The map is shown below.
